I support a transgender's right to tolerance. I do not support their right to approval.

I am required to tolerate their choice, but I am not required to approve of it.

This is the essence of the problem with the LGBTQ or whatever it is called now movement. Tolerance is not enough for them. They demand APPROVAL. They have no right to approval and THAT is the reason so many people hate them. They try to force people to approve through intimidation, name calling and disgusting public displays of sexuality intended to offend people who do not approve of their activities. Who would not dislike people like that?

I support tolerance. I DO NOT support forced approval. People have a right not to approve.

  I certainly do not believe that a transgender person is the gender they say they are. If you can define words to mean anything you want them to mean, language has no meaning. And I will not support the destruction of the language by going along with that agenda.
  
  The science dictates that there are only two genders, male and female and that all human beings will remain the gender they were born for their entire lives. Surgically altering your genitalia, or fantasizing that you are the opposite gender does not alter the DNA in every cell in your body that carries the record of the gender you were born.
  
  I am tolerant of transgenderism. But I will not be forced to accept a fantasy and make believe it is reality. And any attempt to coerce me to do so will be met with pushback. If you don't respect me and my views, don't expect me to respect you and yours.

Yes... and No.
Just letting them live their lives and treating them kindly yes.
Certain things no.
If you are a male high school student as a freshman (born a boy) who decides to transition to female... you should never be allowed to compete on the girl's team against other girls.
In the same situation you shouldn't be allowed to go shower with the girls.

If you want to live your life as the other sex that is fine but there are some limits to where and how that can be lived out or expressed. Having a trans man to woman kicking the crap out of girls on the wrestling team or dominating them in track and field and showering nude with them in the school locker would be an area in which certain lines would have to be drawn.

Outside of some specific situations I support them.

It depends on what you mean by support, and what people mean by transgender. I don't believe that gender is real, not in the sense that there is a sex that is mental rather than physical. If anything, gender can be a social construct (but anything can be a social construct, really). I do believe, however, that there are heavily varying levels of femininity and masculinity in both men and women, but being a feminine male doesn't make you a woman, it just makes you a feminine male.

That being said, I support people's right to express themselves in whatever way they want, even if sometimes find it off-putting.

I don't care how how males dress or what they do in their own private homes but I do care if it infringes on female only places like changing rooms, bathrooms, sports, rape shelters etc. Males are male, females are female. Abnormalities that cause health problems, do not count.

Support? Put it this way, They can live as they see fit. But don’t expect me to March in parades, carry a flag, sponsor public endorsement, etc. And don’t complain when a man won’t date a transgendered woman or vice versa. A transgendered woman is still a man, despite cosmetic changes. DNA will still reveal birth gender, and 200 years from now forensic anthropologists will identify a transgendered woman’s skeletal remains as male.

1st) Support that they wear girl clothes and stuff such as bras, makeup, panties, nail polish, heels, dress, weaves, etc

Or

2nd) Support as in support that they went through hormone therapy, surgery, breast reduction, genitalia change, and etc? I don’t support this, but I support the first one.

I support people to be what gender they like in their everyday life. In my opinion men and women should in general not be treated differently anyway. But I do for example not support trans women in women sports and women prisons. Some places should still only be for the biological gender.

  Hormone replacement therapy makes it perfectly fair.
- someginger
  
  3 d
  It really doesn't, like lowering your testosterone doesn't charge the affects of male puberty. Aka larger and denser bones, height, a large heart and lungs, larger hips and etc.
  
  All of these little things make the difference at the highest level. Why do you think that trans female atheist are breaking womens worlds records and coming first in nearly all events constantly?
  
  It's not bc there all genius, it's that they have a biological advantage thanks to male puberty. If you stop male puberty with hormones blockers (which i don't agree with since 11 year olds are idoits) then it would be more even.

  So what about cisgender women with these traits? Like Caster Semenya? Should we exclude them as well or is that a different story?
  
  And when did you know your gender?
- Show All Show Less
- someginger
  
  2 d
  Well cisgender women wouldn't have these traits or at least not as many..
  
  While yes there is an argument that cisgender women who have traits suited to different sports should also not compete bc it's an unfair advantage.
  
  However no we shouldn't exclude them since she still had the same biology as other women. Like if she's so well suited why doesn't she compete in the mens middle distance?
  
  Bc men have so many more advantages over her that she wouldn't stand a chance.
  
  Like i said a women who is well suited to a sport has one or two advantages over her completion that makes her better, a trans women has those same advantages and much more.
  
  Also i was born a guy and am happy with that, while i still support trans rights and one of my best friends is trans i still believe there needs to be a different solution to this rather than ruining womens sport bc the only people who will win would be trans women.

  Yes. They are men. They see themselves as women, but they objectively are not. I support their right to dress how they please, undergo surgery if they please, call themselves what they please, and generally do as they please, but that in no way effects me. Asking me to change my pronouns because they see themselves as something that they are not does effect me, so that I do not support.

I support their rights the same way I support any human being's rights. I do NOT support full access to certain organizations however, that have the right to govern their membership. For example, the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA). You have to be BORN female in order to participate. End of story. I support that.

  What determines whether you are biologically female or male ARE your genitals, hormones and all of that stuff that is sex-specific. You can't claim you were male at birth if you were born with female genitals. Why did you decide to become a man anyways?
